Worries about job losses have helped stress become the most common cause of long-term sick leave in Britain, according to a report that underlines the pressures on workers in a deteriorating labour market

It is a huge issue in both countries, I read just recently that more than 50% of workers are fearful about job security which is not a good thing. A job for life is long gone.

I read the link below which would seem to confirm what you're saying. Honestly, I was surprised to find so many people were casual employees in Australia too.. almost a quarter of the workforce? That's quite amazing.

Maybe even with Fosters? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/bee...-1226143490065

Yes exactly, there can't be many Aussie owned 'icons' left.

At least it's a British based company, not one from Saudi Arabia or Russia, that's taking over Fosters.

Well in this country it would more than likely be a Chinese company, they seem to be buying everything up.

Exploiting the workers, good old panorama to uncover this scam
